  • SERVINGS: MAKES 6 SANDWICHES

These sandwiches are standard street fare throughout Southeast Asia, from Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh to Vientiane. The baguettes, meats, mayonnaise and butter were introduced by the French; the coriander, seasoned carrots and hot chile give the subs their distinctive Southeast Asian character.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A refreshing beer with a touch of sweetness will best match the sweet-and-sour flavors in these spicy sandwiches.
